1. Adopt a resolution adopting a City Council Cost Recovery Policy

2. Adopt a Carlsbad Municipal Water District Board of Directors resolution adopting a Cost Recovery Policy

3. Adopt a Community Development Commission resolution adopting a Cost Recovery Policy
Exec
utive Summary
The city, the Carlsbad Municipal Water District and the city’s Community Development Commission, charge fees for many services and periodically evaluates fees to ensure that the fees do not exceed the reasonable cost of providing the service. Staff are proposing this cost recovery policy to create a standard methodology to set fees in relation to these costs.

The target cost recovery levels vary for each service based on the benefit of the service to individual users and to the general public, the ability for users to obtain the service from other providers, the comparability of the fee to other similar communities, the impact of the fee level on demand for the service, and other factors.

The proposed policy will create a clear process for:
• Evaluating the costs of providing services
• Setting and changing fees
• Ensuring the use of a balanced approach in setting fees relative to the cost of service Staff are providing three proposed resolutions, one for the City of Carlsbad (Exhibit 1), one for the Carlsbad Municipal Water District (Exhibit 2) and one for the city’s Community Development Commission (Exhibit 3) because the city, the water district and the commission all require fees for certain services. The policy is attached to each resolution. of the City Council, Carlsbad Municipal Water District and Community Development Commission March 14, 2023
Item #8 Page 1 of 87

City Council Policy No. 1 specifies that adoption of a City Council policy requires four affirmative votes. Adoption of a resolution applying the policy to the Carlsbad Municipal Water District and the Community Development Commission requires three affirmative votes.

Discu ssion
Background
The California Constitution and other state laws authorize local governments to adopt and implement fees for certain municipal services provided that these fees do not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing these services. These services include providing copies of documents, lending library materials, and reviewing development applications.

Approximately every five to seven years, the city performs a comprehensive cost of service study to evaluate city services and any fees the city and its subsidiary entities charge for those services. While fees are typically adjusted annually based on inflationary factors, these comprehensive studies allow for a more complete assessment of the true cost of providing services and how fees relate to costs.

The last comprehensive cost of service study was completed in 2021. That study found that the overall level of cost recovery for city fees was 43%, meaning that General Fund revenues were covering 57% of the cost of providing these services. Based on the results of this study, fees were reviewed individually to determine if they should be changed to a more appropriate cost recovery level. The study recommended implementing a cost recovery policy to establish a regular methodology for evaluating and setting city and water district fees in a way that balances cost recovery and public benefit.

Fees subject to policy
Most but not all city fees will be subject to the proposed policy, including those for special events, fire permits and inspections, and development applications and plan review. Some categories of fees have been excluded from this policy because they follow distinct analytical and procedural requirements or are set by state or federal law or another outside agency.

Examples of fees that are not subject to this policy include waste collection rates, administrative penalties, water and wastewater service rates set by rate studies, business license taxes, emergency medical service and ambulance fees, and fees for Parks & Recreation or Library & Cultural Arts programs and classes.

Cost recovery criteria
The level of cost recovery suggested for each fee in the proposed policy considers the public versus private benefit of the program. The use of General Fund revenues to subsidize services is proposed for some services, while a higher rate of cost recovery is proposed for others.

The proposed policy considers the following criteria in setting cost recovery targets for city fees:

Community-wi
de versus individual benefit. The level of cost recovery considers the degree to which the public at large benefits from the service, and the degree to which the individual or entity requesting or requiring the service benefits from the service. The use of General Fund revenues to reduce cost recovery levels is appropriate for services with community-wide benefit, while full cost recovery is appropriate for services that benefit specific individuals or groups.

Item #8 Page 2 of 87

Effect of pricing on the demand for services. The level of cost recovery and related pricing of services can affect demand for these services. For example, there may be instances in which increasing fees could result in decreased use of the service, which could result in the city or CMWD falling out of compliance with regulations, or even create public safety hazards. While setting fees at full cost recovery levels can ensure that the city is providing services for which there is genuinely a market not overly stimulated by artificially low costs, it may also hinder the delivery of services to lower income groups and small businesses.

Comparability wit h other communities. Comparing the city’s fees to other communities provides useful background information in setting fees, however, fee surveys should never be the sole or primary criteria in setting city fees because there are many factors that affect how and why other communities have set their fees. Information cannot generally be obtained in terms of what cost recovery level other communities intended to achieve, what specific costs were considered when computing the fees, and when the last time fees were comprehensively evaluated. Additionally, rate structures typically vary from one agency to another, and do not always provide a good basis for comparison.

Cost recovery levels
Th
e degree to which pricing for services recovers the city’s costs of providing the service will vary based on these factors.

The policy proposes three cost recovery ranges:

Level of cost recovery Target rate of cost recovery
Low 0%-30%
Mid 31%-80%
High 81%-100%

Low-le vel cost recovery services : Some services provided by the city are essential to provide for public safety and welfare. These services can have a lower cost recovery target than others. In general, low-level cost recovery is appropriate under one or more of the following conditions:
• T here is no intended relationship between the amount paid and the benefi t received • The service is essential to protecting public safety, or city assets and infrastructure • Collecting fees is not cost-effective, nor will it impact the efficient delivery of the service
• There is little public benefit to assigning a higher fee amount in that fee category and/or the City Council desires to greatly subsidize or incentivize use of the service • There is no intent to limit the use of the service
• The service is non-recurring, generally delivered on a peak demand or emergency basis, cannot reasonably be planned for on an individual basis, and is not readily available from a private sector source
• Collecting fees would discourage compliance with regulatory requirements • The service is deemed to provide a primarily economic, social, or environmental outcome that is essential to the community
Examples include fees for city-sponsored special events and minor building permits.

March 14, 2023
Item #8 Page 3 of 87

Mid-level cost recovery services: There are some services that provide the user of the service with a higher benefit than the general public. The proposed policy suggests that these services be partially subsidized. Mid-level cost recovery is generally appropriate when one or all of these conditions are present:
• T he service expands or enhances an essential city service • Regulation of an activity is required by a state or other local agency • The City Council desires to subsidize use of the service to ensure the community has access to the service based on financial or economic considerations • Collecting fees at mid-level would maintain and encourage voluntary compliance with regulatory requirements
• The service would provide a desired economic, social, or environmental outcome. • Examples include utility account service fees and fire safety inspections.

High-leve l cost recovery services: Some services clearly benefit the user of the service individually. A pricing strategy to achieve full cost recovery is typically implemented in such cases. Circumstances favoring high cost recovery levels include instances in which service charges are considered a major source of funding for the delivery of the service. These conditions include:
• T he service is similar to services provided through the privat e sector • Other private or public alternatives could or do exist for the delivery of the service • The service primarily benefits the customer and not the general public • For equity or demand management purposes, it is intended that there be a direct relationship between the amount paid and the level and cost of the service received • The use of the service is specifically discouraged
• The service is regulatory in nature and voluntary compliance is not expected to be sufficient to meet regulatory requirements
Examples include major building permits and permits for commercial events. The proposed policy details the target cost recovery range for each fee.

Procedures
The proposed policy establishes a schedule to comprehensively review city fees to determine if the current fee amounts reflect their respective cost recovery targets and are consistent with best practices and statutory requirements.
• A comprehensive cost of service study will be conducted every five to seven years. • Off-cycle updates will occur annually, with fees adjusted by a percentage equal to the change in the San Diego Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, or another reasonable inflationary factor. • Individual fees may be adjusted during the interim period based on supplemental analysis whenever there have been significant changes in costs. • The City Council will have the opportunity to review and the authority to approve any changes to the Master Fee Schedule (Exhibit 4), which lists all of the fees charged by the city. The City Council may decide to increase fees over a period not to exceed three years when immediate adjustments to targeted cost recovery amounts may be unrealistic.

March 14, 2023
Item #8 Page 4 of 87

Fiscal Analysis
There is no immediate fiscal impact from adopting this policy. Fees will continue to increase by annual inflationary factors, and any fees below their recommended cost recovery range will increase to meet their target range over a period of no more than three years.

Options
Staff recommend that the City Council adopt the resolutions implementing the proposed cost recovery policy. Adopting this policy for the city, CMWD and the city’s Community Development Commission will provide a clear methodology for balanced management of city fees. The policy will also assist in:
• Evaluating the costs of providing services
• Setting and changing city fees
• Ensuring the city uses a balanced approach in setting fees relative to the cost of service Staff have identified no drawbacks from adopting the proposed policy.

Next Steps
Once adopted, the cost recovery policy will be implemented by staff. Staff will analyze all fees in the Master Fee Schedule subject to the new policy and recommend changes to fees to meet their target cost recovery levels within three years. Any recommended fee changes due to the policy’s implementation will be brought forward with the proposed Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Master Fee Schedule this spring.

Environmental Evaluation
This action does not require environmental review because it does not constitute a project within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act under California Public Resources Code Section 21065 in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

POLICY STATEMENT
Policy No.

Date Issued
95 March 14, 2023
Resolution No. 2023-082
Subject: Cost Recovery Policy for Fees and Charges for Services Purpose
It is important for the city to have a sound and consistent cost recovery policy that will serve as a management tool for establishing, implementing, and evaluating fees and charges.1 This policy ensures that the city's fees and charges are managed in a manner that will:
• Provide for the delivery of quality services
• Maintain and enhance service delivery
• Support a balanced budget through evaluation and review of the city's total estimated and reasonable cost of providing services
• Set fee amounts in accordance with local goals as pertains to code compliance, cost recovery, economic development, and community values
• Ensure that any action to establish, increase, or impose a fee is conducted in a manner that satisfies the requirements of state law
The City of Carlsbad is authorized to adopt and implement fees and charges for certain municipal services, provided the fees and charges do not exceed the reasonable cost of providing such services. This policy sets forth cost recovery targets, timelines for fee increases, annual cost inflation adjustments, and frequency of comprehensive review for all city fees and charges.

Background
The city's fees for services, products, and regulatory activities are not taxes requiring voter approval under California State Constitution, Article XIII C, Section 1 (a voter initiative added by Proposition 218 and amended by Proposition 26) if the fees do not exceed the reasonable cost of the services, products or regulatory activities. In addition to the Constitution, state and local laws also provide authorization to charge fees for services. For example, Government Code 66014 governs many fees as it pertains to development approvals. The language of Government Code 66014 mirrors the reasonable cost limitation expressed by the Constitution.

This policy addresses all city fees and charges included in the city's Master Fee Schedule, with a few exceptions. Fees for services not subject to this policy typically require different analyses and adoption processes than the fees that are subject to this policy. 1 The policy, as it applies to Carlsbad Municipal Water District fees and housing services fees, was approved by the Board of Directors of Carlsbad Municipal Water District of the City of Carlsbad on [date) by Resolution No. [number] and the Community Development Commission on [date] by Resolution No. [number].

3. In certain circumstances where cost recovery may be unrealistic or undesirable, the City Council may subsidize a portion of or an entire fee program and/or individual fees.

4. In certain circumstances where immediate adjustments to full cost recovery may be impractical, it may be appropriate to phase in fee increases over multiple years.

5. The procedures for adopting fees for development applications or projects shall follow the procedures for adopting various fees provided by Government Code sections 66016- 66019, or other applicable law, and shall be effective no sooner than 60 days following the final action.

6. Fees and charges should be sensitive to the “market” for similar services.

7. A unified approach should be used in determining cost recovery levels for various programs and their individual fees and charges based on this policy.

Influential Factors to Cost Recovery Policy
Reasonable, routinely reviewed, and well managed fees for services are one of the many responsible financial steps needed to support the c ity’s overall financial sustainability . When considering whether fees and charges should be adopted to recover 100% of the costs of providing services, city staff and the City Council will consider the following influential factors:

• The level of cost recovery should consider the degree to which the public benefits from the service versus the degree to which the user of the service themselves benefits. • The level of cost recovery should consider how the pricing of services can affect the demand and subsequent level of services provided.

Based on the consideration of factors that influence cost recovery policy, the degree to which pricing for services recovers the city’s costs of providing the service will vary. • Low-level cost recovery services should aim to recover between 0%-30% of their costs.

These include services where there is no intended relationship between the fee and the benefit received, that are essential to community safety, or for services where collecting fees would discourage compliance.
• Mid-level cost recovery services should aim to recover between 31%-80% of their costs.

These include services where the specific user of the service receives a higher level of benefit than the general taxpayer, but where the city has an interest in encouraging compliance by subsidizing the cost of the service.
• High-level cost recovery services should recover between 81%-100% of their costs.

These include services where the individual primarily and directly benefits from the service, not the community at large. These may be services that could otherwise be provided by the private sector or use of the service is not encouraged.

Procedures
This Cost Recovery Policy establishes a scheduled program to comprehensively review the fee schedule to determine if the current fee amounts are reflective of the costs to provide such services and are consistent with best practices and statutory requirements. • A comprehensive analysis of city service delivery costs associated with fees and charges shall be made approximately every five to seven years.
• Off-cycle updates will occur annually, where fees will be adjusted by a percentage equal to the change in the San Diego Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or another reasonable inflationary factor. • Individual fees may be adjusted during the interim period based on supplemental analysis whenever there have been significant changes in costs. • The City Council shall have the opportunity to review and the authority to approve any changes to the Master Fee Schedule.
• The City Council may decide to increase fees over a period not to exceed three years in certain circumstances where immediate adjustments to targeted cost recovery amounts may be unrealistic.

Comparability with Other Communities
Comparing the city’s fees to other communities provides useful background information in setting fees. It allows the city to assess the market price of the service as compared to other agencies as well as to learn about alternative methods of charging fees for certain services.

However, fee surveys should never be the sole or primary criteria in setting city fees as there are many factors that affect how and why other communities have set their fees at their levels.

Terms and Limitations

1. All rights and obligations existing under any user fee schedule in effect prior to the effective date of a resolution approving a user fee update, shall continue in full force and effect. Updates to user fee schedules should not affect or disrupt the continuity of the city’s business or administration of its law, including:
• Actions and proceedings that began before the effective date of the resolution.

• Prosecution for ordinance violations committed before the effective date of the resolution.
• The amount, or collection, of license, fee, penalty debt, forfeiture, or obligations due and unpaid as of the effective date of the resolution.

Subject to this Policy

Statement of policy
It is the policy of the City of Carlsbad that the following guidelines will be used in establishing and maintaining fees and charges:

1. Revenues for individual fees and in aggregate for any fee program shall not exceed the reasonable cost of providing services.

2. Comprehensive review of all city fees and charges shall occur every five to seven years.

3. In certain circumstances where cost recovery may be unrealistic or undesirable, the City Council may subsidize a portion of or an entire fee program and/or individual fees.

4. In certain circumstances where immediate adjustments to full cost recovery may be impractical, it may be appropriate to phase in fee increases over multiple years.

6. Fees and charges should be sensitive to the “market” for similar services.

7. A unified approach should be used in determining cost recovery levels for various programs and their individual fees and charges based on this policy.

Consideration of a Cost
Recovery Policy
Zach Korach, Finance Director
Jeremy Bates, Senior Management Analyst
March 14, 2023
{ City of
Carlsbad
TODAY’S PRESENTATION
• Overview
• Policy Statement
• Procedures
• Proposed Action
ITEM 8: COST RECOVERY POLICY
{ City of
Carlsbad

OVERVIEW
• City is currently recovering only 43% of cost of
providing services
• State law: city fees cannot exceed the
reasonable cost of providing services
• City performs periodic reviews to evaluate fees
against cost of service
• Goal of policy is to balance cost recovery and
public benefit
ITEM 8: COST RECOVERY POLICY
{ City of
Carlsbad

INFLUENTIAL FACTORS IN COST

RECOVERY
• Community-wide vs. individual benefit
• Higher cost recovery is appropriate for services
that clearly benefit an individual
• Lower cost recovery is appropriate for services
that provide a community benefit
ITEM 8: COST RECOVERY POLICY
{ City of
Carlsbad

INFLUENTIAL FACTORS IN COST

RECOVERY
• Effect or pricing on demand for services
• Setting fees at full cost recovery levels may lead to non-compliance with regulations, public safety
hazards, or make it harder for some individuals to
access services
• Must balance this against recovering the cost to the
city of providing the service
ITEM 8: COST RECOVERY POLICY
{ City of
Carlsbad

INFLUENTIAL FACTORS IN COST

RECOVERY
• Comparability with other communities
• Important to provide background information
and see if the city is “in the market”, but should
never be the primary criteria in setting fees and
comparisons aren’t always analogous
ITEM 8: COST RECOVERY POLICY
{ City of
Carlsbad

LOW COST RECOVERY SERVICES
• 0% - 30% cost recovery target
• Services where there is a significant community
benefit, a goal to encourage compliance, and/or
the service is essential to public safety or
infrastructure
• Examples: City sponsored special events, minor
residential building permits
ITEM 8: COST RECOVERY POLICY
{ City of
Carlsbad

MID-LEVEL COST RECOVERY

SERVICES
• 31% - 80% cost recovery target
• Services where there is a significant individual
benefit but also a community benefit, and/or a goal
to encourage voluntary compliance with regulatory
requirements
• Examples: Utility account service fees, Fire safety
inspections
ITEM 8: COST RECOVERY POLICY
{ City of
Carlsbad

HIGH COST RECOVERY SERVICES
• 81% - 100% cost recovery target
• Services where there is a significant individual
benefit, and/or where private alternatives exist for
the service, or the use of the service is discouraged
• Examples: Commercial special events, permit fees
for major development projects
ITEM 8: COST RECOVERY POLICY
{ City of
Carlsbad

PROCEDURES
• This spring: staff will recommend any fee changes to
meet target cost recovery levels within three years as
part of proposed fee schedule
• Annually: City Council reviews proposed updates to
city fees based on consumer price index
• Every 5-7 years: comprehensive cost of service study
to evaluate all fees
• Individual fees can be adjusted between updates as
needed
ITEM 8: COST RECOVERY POLICY
{ City of
Carlsbad

PROPOSED ACTION
Adopt a resolution establishing a cost recovery
policy
